In addition, a vulnerable SSH client may be compromised by connecting to a malicious SSH daemon that exploits this vulnerability in the client code, thus compromising the client system.An attacker may use this flaw to set up a brute force attack against the remote host. Solution : Upgrade to OpenSSH 6.7 or apply the patch for prior versions. (See: https://www.openssh.org)
